  • Patent number: 10287789
    Abstract: An improved hotel configuration. The hotel room configuration includes two adjacent rooms, one of which forms a T, and the other of which forms an L, with the base of the T fitting into the right angle formed by the L. Embodiments are directed to reconfiguring an existing hotel having adjacent, side-by-side rooms into the T and L configuration. Additional embodiments are directed to a combined television stand and desk module that fits into or is used as a footboard of a bed. A television can be mounted on the top of this console, and can, in embodiments, rotate to face the desk, the bed, or other parts of the room.

  • Patent number: 5980487
    Abstract: A syringe for the injection or taking of fluids having a needle mounting endpiece which is detachably coupled to barrel by mating features. A plunger and a coupled seal are guided by flanges sliding within guides and are further guided by protrusions so as to prevent rotation of the plunger and prevent unwanted contact between the flanges and the barrel. The plunger exhibits a bayonet-type fixture which upon rotation engages within the endpiece and allows retraction of the endpiece and coupled needle within barrel. Following engagement and retraction, the plunger may be prevented from movement by the engagement of protrusion on the barrel protrusions and abutment of radial protrusions against annular protrusions. Further embodiments and improvements are provided.
